I just found it after doing research from the thread I posted a few days ago. Also, I was tagged on twitter about my post, so I felt that if we were going to discuss more or get retailers/manufactures involved, we could bring some of the science back to light.

Was the conflicting info that Krakatoa provided ever vetted?

I do not point this out to be adversarial, I am just as interested in getting accurate information as anyone else. But any new information that is brought to light that is lacking a published source must be regarded as rumor and hearsay. That does not automatically mean such information is incorrect. However, until additional evidence to support it is brought forward it will remain nothing more than speculation.

One other question about what Claudius wrote when asked to provide a source, he gave the name Francisco Vallejo. Not trying to be combative, but does a paper need to be published by a person before it'll be taken as the gospel? It seems to me, if I heard it from the horses mouth, that'd be good enough for me.
